My putback of

PSARC/2006/601 Battery Project
6527351 PSARC/2006/601 Battery Project: Add HAL ACPI support
6527350 PSARC/2006/601 Battery Project: create battery driver

adds laptop battery support.  This means that in NV63, one can add
the battery applet and see the remaining percentage and remaining time
of the battery.  Note that since the applet is in the JDS gate, not ON,
one needs to wait to get the full NV63 consolidation.  Please refer
to the PSARC case or
